This Southern coleslaw recipe has been passed down the generations and is great for any occasion. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I've even been told it is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge!
Ingredients
1 head cabbage, finely shredded
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
½ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup milk
¼ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Gather the ingredients.
Whisk mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until smooth and sugar has dissolved.
